Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

The melting point of potassium thiocyanate determined by a student in the laboratory turned out to be 174.5 oC. The accepted val
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%

Answer:

I believe the answer is B.

Explanation:

Newton's First Law of Gravity states, "The greater the weight (or mass) of an object, the more inertia it has. Heavy objects are harder to move than light ones because they have more inertia. "

Explain integration and differentiation in simple method!
Anika [276]
Differentiation in its simplest of terms means breaking something into small parts. On the other hand, integration is taking those really small parts and gluing them in the right order. In short, these terms are the direct opposite or inverses of each other. The term which can tell you how fast you are going at a moment in time at ones current location is called a derivative. The term on the other hand, which can tell you how far you have travelled if you have been keeping track of your location and your time is what an integral is referred to. It is like differentiation only needs knowledge on the local neighbourhood while integration will need the knowledge on a global knowledge.

What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 50.0 kg and a velocity of 18 m/s? A.450 J B.900 J C.8,100 J D.16,000
Svet_ta [14]
KE = (1/2)·(mass)·(speed)²

KE = (1/2)·(50 kg)·(18 m/s)²

KE = (25 kg)·(324 m²/s²)

KE = 8,100 kg-m²/s²

KE = 8,100 Joules

In tae-kwon-do, a hand is slammed down onto a target at a speed of 10 m/s and comes to a stop during the 7.0 ms collision. Assum
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(A) Impulse = 9Ns

(B) F = 1286N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum = m(v-u)

v = 0 (the hand comes to a stop)

u = -10m/s

Mass = 0.9kg

Impulse = 0.9 ×(0- (-10))

= 9Ns

(B) F×t = Impulse

F = Impulse/ t

t = 7ms = 7×10-³

F = 9/ (7×10-³)

F = 1286N.
